033 | Us & Kids: How to Feel Loved While Sitting on the Couch
Intro
On today’s show, we are talking about couches, couples and connecting. After a long day at work or maybe endless hours together at home, it can feel easy to grab your phone and sit down next to each other on the couch. This time is better than nothing, right? Or could these little actions be doing more harm than good?
If we create habits like these in our everyday lives they might become a crutch for us to turn to instead of our spouse in times when we need real emotional support. We don’t have to avoid couch time all together though, we can learn how to use this time to reconnect with each other.
